Turnkey solutions for the cheese industry

Complete cheese plants from idea to stable operation

From a single special machine to a complete cheese plant. We develop and design the solution, build and test it at our own facilities, install it at your site and follow it through commissioning to stable operation.

    The investment basis

    What should the investment deliver?

    An investment in production equipment must be defensible – technically, financially and operationally. That is why we do not start with the machine. We start with what the customer needs to achieve.

    Together we analyze the current production, establish a baseline and assess where the solution can create measurable operational effect and other strategic value. This gives a stronger basis for both the technical decision and the internal investment approval.

    • More capacity

      Removal of bottlenecks, higher cycle rate, better capacity balance and room for future expansion.

    • Lower operating costs

      Potential for less manual work and lower consumption of water, chemicals, energy and other consumables.

    • More stable production

      Fewer stops, higher uptime, better availability and a solution that works as one integrated whole.

    • Consistent quality

      Controlled processes, high weight accuracy, stable cleaning and potential for fewer deviations and less product waste.

    • Better documentation

      Recording of process and cleaning data such as program, time, temperature, flow, pressure, concentration and alarms.

    • Working environment and compliance

      Fewer heavy and repetitive lifts, safer access and a better basis for meeting requirements for hygiene, food safety, machine safety and traceability.

    The actual effect depends on the starting point. In the feasibility study we can help document the baseline, opportunities, assumptions and technical data for the customer's business case.

    Integration is the product

    What you buy is the integration

    A plant is not good because the tank or the machine is well built in isolation. It is good when process, mechanics, automation, hygiene, documentation and operation work as one integrated solution. That integration is what HSV Combi takes responsibility for.

    25-30 specialists with a daily focus on the cheese industry. Roughly half work in process, engineering, automation, project management and documentation – the other half in production, installation and service. All under one roof in Sdr. Bjert.

    Custom design

    When the standard solution does not fit

    Two cheese plants rarely make cheese the same way. Product, capacity, hygiene and building each pull in their own direction, and the equipment has to suit them all. That is why we design the solution around the production you have – not around a catalog.

    • One organization and one point of contact. Engineers, project managers, automation specialists, fabricators and installers work on the same solution.
    • Shorter lines of communication. Faster decisions and shared responsibility for making the solution work in practice.
    • Adapted to the real factory. 3D layouts and capacity calculations clarify integration and expansions before production begins.

    How we work

    Knowledge all the way. Responsibility all the way.

    What we learn in the feasibility study stays with the project all the way to stable operation. You do not have to explain your production from scratch every time the project changes hands.

    PHASE 01

    We start with the production

    Product, process, capacity, cleaning, staffing and existing equipment are clarified before a solution is chosen.
